anyway. speaking of doorstrips. police cars in MI don't have them most of the time on the front doors. it is how you can always spot the unmarked. anyone know why that is, i though it might be that the front doors are armored so they can use them at shields in fire fights.

It's because P71 Police Package Crown Vics do not have them installed from the factory, regardless of color. They come in the trunl. The shop that "builds" police cars for MI should put them on cars that don't have any reason not to have them (any undecalled car). We put 'em on unmarked cars.

As for armour: The P71 Crown Vic has absolutely no armour. It is simply a Crown Vic with bucket seats, rubber floors, vinyl rear seats, some minor electrical provisions for intalling equipment, and a heavy duty suspension/brake package. Its engine is no more powerful than a stock Crown Vic LX.
